west end live

West End Live is an annual event showcasing the best entertainment West End has to offer. Because Leicester Square is currently undergoing a face-lift, this year it is being held in Trafalgar Square. I heard about this on the radio and since I'm not working today, I went. After all it's free! But it's not just about songs and dances because aside from musical performances, there are exhibits from The Science Museum, the London Film Museum, Ripley's Believe It or Not, the National Gallery and more.

A picture paints a thousand words, daw. Kaya, I'll just let these photos do the talking.

At least 10,000 people witnessed today's event.

Even Crazy Frog was there.

And Jack Sparrow.

Where's Waldo?

Apparently, Free Run has 15 Guiness World Records. Members of the group take on parkour, stunts and martial arts.

Defying Gravity at 1120.

Phantom 2.0

I wonder if this is as "bad" as the movie?

Billy Elliott

Lend Me a Tenor is a new Musical Comedy that opened just last week.

Betty Blue Eyes is about a pig with, you guess it, blue eyes. The musical is a Cameron Mackintosh production.

Velma and Roxie.

The cast literally rocked the crowd. I hope to see this show soon.

Dark clouds mean ...

Mother. . . Rain

Amazingly, everybody stayed where they were.

The Jersey Boys singing in the rain. Great performance.

The music of Abba.

Thriller Live is a show celebrating the career of the King of Pop - Michael Jackson.

Didn't enjoy this act so much. The American humor seemed lost.

Seriously?!? I really didn't get this.

Hope to see this one soon, too. A movie starring Tom Cruise is actually in the works.

The London production stars Shane Ward - winner of X-Factor.

Vintage Batmobile.

And if you needed reminding, the Olympics is coming to London real soon.

About Me

A former work colleague described me as an England-based Japanese-looking Filipino with a Spanish name and an American accent. I drink Belgian beer in Irish pubs and frequent Chinese buffets when lunching out. For breakfast, Scottish haggis is a must and Italian dinners always leave satisfied. Latin-American cinema facinates me and French architecture makes my head reel, in a good way. I once smoked a Cuban cigar and absolutely loved it. One day I'll visit Chile, Morocco and Vietnam. I'll try everything once. From eating Jamaican patty whilst playing Russian roulette to downing Singapore slings after dancing the Viennese waltz. I'll even camp out in the Australian outback as long as I stay away from the Brazilian wax.
But if you really want to know me in acht Wörter, Ako ay isang Batanguenyong-Kabitenyo na ipinanganak sa Mindoro.
